**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 02 02:59:57 2008 Jan 02 16:50:05 HopsNBarley: a short question....do you know the status of the TS101/TS201 kernel? Jan 02 16:51:48 i mean.....the TS109/TS209 are arm based boxes based on a marvell orion SoC.....and they will be soon in the mainline kernel...thats why there will be soon a foonas-rootfs Jan 02 16:52:11 hi mindbender - i'm working on the 8241 kernel as we speak. Jan 02 16:52:18 anyone ever worked on vanilla kernel patch for these 2 boxes? Jan 02 16:52:19 ah. Jan 02 16:52:22 kk. Jan 02 16:52:28 thats cool of course. Jan 02 16:52:49 it's my first kernel project, so it's going slow, but i've gotten everything working now on 2.6.15, so that's up from vendor 2.6.12.6 Jan 02 16:53:50 that sounds nice. so you are slowly applying the incremental patches from http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ ? Jan 02 16:54:03 yep. Jan 02 16:54:13 takes some time. Jan 02 16:54:31 well, then good luck with that. i tried that myself in the past....i know it takes time. Jan 02 16:55:09 but as i am only a novice c-coder (java is more my territory) i did not get that far. Jan 02 16:55:31 i'm pleased i've gotten so far in just the two weeks since i started (-; Jan 02 16:55:45 i'm, uh, a bit "seasoned" in C/Unix (-; Jan 02 16:56:00 ... and i don't know java! Jan 02 16:56:22 i just wanted to tell you that as soon as you have a working 2.6.17+ kernel it should be possible to compile a foonas & foonas-em rootfs for it....the only question is which bootloader the boxes feature? Jan 02 16:56:35 uboot 1.0.0 Jan 02 16:56:44 well, thats cool then. Jan 02 16:56:56 so no uboot porting needed in advance...thats nice.. Jan 02 16:57:14 however, this is all ARCH=ppc. The older uboot prevents us from using ARCH=powerpc Jan 02 16:57:34 there is a "wrapper" image now, but i'm not sure it works. it's pretty new. Jan 02 16:57:48 my experiements with it were inconclusive Jan 02 16:58:24 i c. are there any Turbostation related webpages btw? Jan 02 16:59:04 we've got some stuff up at openprotium.org, as i recall. Jan 02 16:59:21 ah...and i just found http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Qnap_Turbostation Jan 02 17:00:37 well...i setup http://qnap.nas-central.org/ with several other subwikis last week....i hope it will help us gathering information... Jan 02 17:00:52 anyway...good luck in your quest! Jan 02 17:16:18 hey, thanks. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 03 02:59:56 2008
